Tonight, for the first time, an undocumented immigrant will speak at a national political convention. Benita Veliz, 27, was brought to Texas from Mexico by her parents when she was 8 years old. She was threatened with deportation in 2009 after rolling through a stop sign and getting stopped by police.

An activist for the DREAM Act, which would grant permanent residency to some immigrants who graduate from U.S. high schools, Veliz was spared deportation last fall. President Obama, by executive order, subsequently stopped the deportation of some illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as children, who can now apply for work permits. That policy went into effect in August.

This is part of the brown revolution. In your face with the, “we didn’t cross the borders, the borders crossed us” attitude.

She is right there….deport her

In any other country, this criminal would be thrown into a prison cell, used as a hoar, then shot in front of a firing squad.

But stupid American Democrats hold them in high esteem for mooching off us hard working Americans and breaking our laws. And then… they want to turn our great nation into the hell hole countries they escaped from.

The Mayor of the city she is from is also part of the brown revolution.

When I read this I saw a golden opportunity for Sherrif Joe to make an arrest. . . .

Then they demand free sh*t, free healthcare, jobs, no taxes, tax refunds for their kids back in mexico, documents in Spanish, translators and special treatment.

I have always said it is like they break into your house, then steal your car and since you didnt catch them they get to keep the car, want you to pay for gas, insurance and then give you a room to sleep in and food to eat while parading around with a Mexican flag.

Graduated as valedictorian of her class at age 16. Graduated from college at age 20 with a double major.

We have to enforce the laws on the books, otherwise what good are they? No special treatment for those who break the law.

“God is banned and booed but illegal aliens get to speak.”

Exactly, the real question is why don’t you know this before? I thought the Catholic church gave us the “Bible”? (of course they didn’t but lets go with their stupidity).

Are you even remotely familiar with what age we are in? We are in the Laodicea church age found in Revelation 3. The word means “rights of the people” as in Civil Rights. God in the Book written by Jews under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said that the civil rights age would be the worst age of all of them where everyone would have rights EXCEPT HIM.

God went on to say much more about this disgusting age but what would be the point…..”He that is of God heareth God’s words, ye therefore hear them not because ye are not of God.”

Hate to say it but in Texas..HARRIS COUNTY under current leadership the push is on for Hispanics. I wonder if they will outdo the Democrats. There are multiple type ethnic promoting groups like Hispanic Republican,Conservative Latinos and or derivations thereof and Somos Republicans & just today the Cafe Mocha movement struck up: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2927467/posts
The Republican Party is something quite different than you might think where we live. Perhaps avoid Harris County.

I’ll bet her grades came easy just like obama’s too. but then, she too is clean and articulate and that helps even for little plumplings like her.
She looks sorta ‘snooki-ish’ ( little dumpling from Jersey Shore) too.

stonedome

get ready for a ticket back to mexico after january

Sandy

After which she was arrested? Nah that was the old days.

Prickly

Would like to know what the double major was. Engineering? Mathematics? Computer Science? If it was Hispanic Studies & some other major that many other college students have graduated with then her contribution may be just another person in the job lines. Or she might get a juicy BO appt.

Was arrested for driving without a driver’s license at 16.

Two sets of laws: One for us, one for them. It’s perfectly all right if they don’t have drivers’ licenses, isn’t it. Or any sort of driver training.

And if we get killed by someone driving around with no license and no training, well, it’s all for the right cause, isn’t it? If you get killed, for example, you can go to your grave happy that you have made the necessary sacrifice for people to whom the law isn’t supposed to apply.

There’s another set of laws, the actual ones that my family has to follow. And woe to us if we don’t.

She will also be voting come election day…..more than once too.

So what. She’s an illegal. She should be deported along with her parents and all who are here illegally. Let her return home and use her superior intellect to fix her own country. We do not need her here.

#9,
Note that her bio now reads, and I quote: “Veliz, who said she was valedictorian of her high school at the age of 16”
Note a couple of changes?
Yeah.
Oh, and the college thing? It’s vanished from her dreamact website bio page (as of right now). Vaporized, gone like the wind…
What’s that you say? Is it possible that her “bio” was somehow “misrepresented” or even (gasp) fictional? THATS RACIST!!!!

Heh.

Az loves Sheriff Joe

My dream is every last one of these damn invaders gets caught and shipped south. And take those lousy loud gardening blowers with you.
